(a) SUBDIVISIONS. SEC PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING SUBDIVISIONS (1) Preliminary Meetings. Before filing a preliminary plat, the sub-divider is encouraged to consult with the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and/or its consulting staff for advice regarding general subdivision drawn on a topographic survey map should be submitted. The sub-divider shall also submit a location map showing the relationship of the proposed subdivision to traffic arteries and existing community facilities. (2) Preliminary Plat. a. The sub-divider shall submit to the Village Board and to those agencies having the authority to object to plats under provisions in Chapter 236 of the Wisconsin Statutes, a preliminary plat based upon an accurate exterior boundary survey by a registered land surveyor which shall show clearly the proposed subdivision at a scale of not more than one (1) inch per one hundred (100) feet having two (2) foot contour intervals, shall identify the improvements (grading, tree planting, paving, installation of facilities and dedications of land), easements which the sub-divider proposes to make and shall indicate by accompanying letter when the improvements will be provided. Any proposed restrictive covenants for the land involved shall be submitted. b. The Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and Village Board may submit a copy of the preliminary plat to the Village Engineer and/or Land Planning Consultant for review and written report of their reaction to the proposed plat. c. After review of the preliminary plat and negotiations with the sub-divider on changes being advisable and the kind and extent of public improvements which will be required, the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee shall reject or approve conditionally the preliminary plat within forty (40) days, as provided by statute. The sub-divider shall be informed of any conditions o approval or the reasons for rejection. Failure of the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee to act within forty (40) days shall constitute approval of the preliminary plat unless another authorized agency object to the plat.

4 d. Approval of the preliminary plat shall entitle the sub-divider to final approval of the layout shown by such plat, provided the final plat conforms substantially to such layout and conditions of approval have been met. (3) Final Plat. a. Final Plats shall be submitted to the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and Village Board within six (6) months of preliminary plat acceptance unless this requirement is waived in writing by the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee. b. The final plat shall conform to the preliminary plat as approved and to the requirements of all applicable ordinances and state laws and shall be submitted for certification of those agencies having the authority to object to the plat as provided by Section (2), Wisconsin Statutes. c. The final plat shall be accompanied by detailed construction plans of all improvements. d. The final plat shall be presented to the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee at least ten (10) work days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered and shall be accepted or rejected by the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and the Village Board within sixty (60) days of its submission, unless the time is extended by an agreement with the sub-divider. Reasons for rejection shall be stated in the minutes of the Village Board meeting and a copy thereof or a written statement of such reasons supplied to the subdivider. If the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and Village Board fails to act within sixty (60) days and the time has not been extended by agreement and if no unsatisfied objections have been filed within that period, the plat shall be deemed to be approved. Following the approval of the plat as certified by all necessary officials, the plat shall be recorded in accordance with the requirements of the Wisconsin Statutes. The plat shall be recorded prior to the time that lots are offered for sale, reference is made to the map for sales purposes, or use is made of lot and block numbers on the plat. e. If the original of the final plat has been filed with another approving authority, the sub-divider may file a true copy of such plat in lieu of the original. However, before approval of the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee and Village Board will be inscribed on the original of the final plat, the surveyor or sub-divider shall certify the respects in which the original of the final plat differs from the true copy and all modifications must first be approved.

Stats. (2) Procedure. a. The sub-divider shall first consult with the Finance, Personnel, Budget and Planning Committee regarding the requirements for minor sub-divisional certified surveys before submission of the final map.
